3. 8 KM -i T 0 J3omF XUANHUA SSM DEPOT IS 25X1
DIRECTLY SERVED BY A SHORT SPUR FROM THE SAME RAIL LINE

DRIVE-THROUGH MISSILE CHECKOUT/STORAGE BUILDING AND SPACE TO

PROPELLANTS AND WARHEAD. THE GARRISON ALSO CONTAINS HOUSING
FOR FOUR COMPANY-SIZE UNITS, TWO MONITOR-ROOFED SHOP OR
EQUIPMENT REPAIR BUILDINGS, ONE AUDITORIUM, AND FIVE SMALL
STORAGE/SUPPORT BUILDINGS.
(SWN) I ZONE TYPE A MISSILE RAILCAR AND ONE 25X1
TYPE B MISSILE FLATCAR WERE ON THE RAIL SIDING IN THE
GARRISON. A PROBABLE CSS-1 LAUNCH STAND TRANSPORTER, 19
CARGO TRUCKS, TWO SMALL VAN TRUCKS AND TWO LARGER
UNIDENTIFIED VEHICLES WERE ALSO PRESENT. A REVIEW OF
AVAILABLE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT A CSS-1 LAUNCH STAND
TRANSPORTER AND TWO TYPE A AND ONE TYPE B MISSILE RAILCARS
WERE IN THE FACILITY NO OTHER MISSILE 25X1
GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AT THE FACILITY.
(SWN) IT APPEARS THAT THE FACILITY WAS BUILT IN THE
MID-1960's AND OPERATED AS A FIELD. GARRISON. IN THE 1970's
IT MORE LIKELY OPERATED AS A SUPPORT ELEMENT OF THE SSM
DEPOT. ACTIVITY WAS VERY LOW THROUGH THE 1970's. IN 1981
MISSILE RAILCARS AND A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEGAN TO BE
OBSERVED. ALSO IN 1981, CONSTRUCTION WAS STARTED ON TWO
FOUR-STORY HOUSING AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGS WHICH APPEAR
TO BE EXTERNALLY COMPLETE. THE TWO LARGE MONITOR-ROOFED
SHOP BUILDINGS AND OTHER STORAGE/SUPPORT BUILDINGS ARE NOT
TYPICAL OF AN OPERATIONAL MISSILE BASE AND INDICATE THAT
REPAIR, OR TRAINING TO REPAIR MISSILE EQUIPMENT IS CONDUCTED
